I agree with you Ann, it does give off a bad impression if we dont participate. You can count on us to help out if this is not our national.

Ameraucana Marketplace / ABA National

I agree with Mike,there will be breeders that want to attend this show if it is a national or not. I for one will probably attend this show regardless.
How can a show be too big? We would be showing our breed to the world and what better way than to a large group of poultry exhibitors. Granted we would have to take our turn with judging and it may not be in some peoples time frame, we just need to take our turn like everyone else. From what we understand, the judging takes place in the order they hear we want our show there. So the sooner we can make a decision, and the sooner we notify them, the sooner we will be judged at this show. This is what we were told at the last show they held.We have a unique breed of birds that can compete with everyone else and should not be afraid to do so.
We had a great time at the last show held in Pauls district and want to go down in that area again, just feel that the rotation should be broken for 1 year.
Like Mike and others, we will go to what ever show the group decides on, We just need to give Indy a chance at hosting our national.

I dont think that enough splash birds have been shown, but the Lavenders may be far enough along to try for qualification. John had done a lot of work on them, he would know more on the numbers and exhibitors that have helped him. If they meet all the qualifications, I think they should go for it.

Personally, we here feel that the rotation should be broken for 1 year and the show should be held in Indy. These combined shows are some of the largest in poultry history and we should be taking advantage of promoting our breed to the world. Most all the other breeds will be hosting their nationals at this show and what better way to educate and get new breeders involved than to have our show there. I know that people will say the show is in the Midwest too often, but this is an opportunity that dosen\'t knock too often. 1 year out of rotation will not throw a wrench into the system. 2012 would bring the schedule back into the rotation for Pauls district. Don\'t want to ruffel any feathers,just feel this is an opportunity we shouldn\'t let slip away like we did when it was there last time.

Ameraucana Marketplace / Happy New Year
« on: January 02, 2010, 10:29:38 AM »
Happy New Year to all. We have about 90 chicks out as of today. A little of everything, LF Ameraucanas,Langshans,White Leghorns,Spanish,Bantam Buff Laced Polish and a few Bantam Ameraucanas. The bantam blacks and blues refuse to lay and hoping we get some fertility this year. We start setting up breeding pens for the waterfowl this week.
The Large fowl White Ameraucana chicks have great grey color (the darker grey the better). They tend not to yellow like the yellow chicks do and have a much nice white as adults. LF white cochins tend to work this way too.
Is anyone else having the cold weather we are having? Makes us appreciate our heated barn that much more,

Ameraucana Marketplace / Anyone Hatching Yet?
« on: February 04, 2009, 06:38:27 PM »
We have a heated barn so most of the birds are in full gear. Large fowl are doing much better this year than in the past. Whites and Buffs seem to be great layers. but blacks and blues always seem to be slow. This year they are all doing quite well. Bantam whites and wheatens are laying well with good fertility. Black and blue bantams have not cooperated as of yet. very few eggs and no fertility.
As usual, the white leghorns and large polish have layed well and have great fertility.
